</PRE>

<P>
The presence of this annotation on a type indicates that the type may be
 used with the
 <a href="http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/">Google Web Toolkit</a> (GWT).
 When applied to a method, the return type of the method is GWT compatible.
 It's useful to indicate that an instance created by factory methods has a GWT
 serializable type.  In the following example,

 <pre style="code">
 @GwtCompatible
 class Lists {
   ...
   @GwtCompatible(serializable = true)
   static &lt;E> List&lt;E> newArrayList(E... elements) {
     ...
   }
 }
 </pre>
 The return value of <code>Lists.newArrayList(E[])</code> has GWT
 serializable type.  It is also useful in specifying contracts of interface
 methods.  In the following example,

 <pre style="code">
 @GwtCompatible
 interface ListFactory {
   ...
   @GwtCompatible(serializable = true)
   &lt;E> List&lt;E> newArrayList(E... elements);
 }
 </pre>
 The <code>newArrayList(E[])</code> method of all implementations of <code>ListFactory</code> is expected to return a value with a GWT serializable type.

 <p>Note that a <code>GwtCompatible</code> type may have some <A HREF="../../../../com/google/common/annotations/GwtIncompatible.html" title="annotation in com.google.common.annotations"><CODE>GwtIncompatible</CODE></A> methods.
